Well, the ol' iTunes Shuffle is all over the place today. We open with my all time favorite song by XTC. The Outkast song is nasty, as one would expect, but the dancing in the video is great. Mott the Hoople makes their debut on the list (I just downloaded the album Saturday) with a song featuring a great, four-note synth solo on a Moog with those wonderful, fat-sounding ring oscillators. The White Stripes song contains one of my favorite lyrics: Be like the squirrel, girl, be like the squirrel, ow, ow, ow. Give it a whirl, girl, be like the squirrel, ow, ow, ow. It don' git better'n dat. Palestrina is totally out of place. Tom Waits is always welcome, followed by one obscure Sparks song (I heard that! Waddaya mean "All Sparks songs are obscure"?). A pretty song by the Talking Heads, and a noisy song by Ten Pole Tudor (from The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle), and it all comes to an automatic stop with the Strokes song ends.
Er, I don't think that's the Strokes in the video, but that IS their recording.
